I have decided to take both an empirical and anecdotal approach to the Muscle Mommy Metamorphosis. The anecdotal evidence will come though in nuggets of observation and feeling that I drop throughout this blog. The hard science to track progress will be done via blood testing on a regular schedule as well as regular monitoring of my vitals.
The Schedule
Five blood tests, one initial test plus one every three months for a year will be performed between now and end of March 2026.
- Starting: March 05, 2025
- Q1 June 01, 2025
- Q2 September 01, 2025
- Q3 December 01, 2025
- Q4 March 01 2026.
The Metrics
My baseline vitals and measurements will be tracked on a regular basis to keep check on my day-to-day health.
- Weight lbs
- Blood Pressure
- Blood Oxygen (O2)
- Sleep (hrs)
- Chest (cm)
- Waist (cm)
- Hips (cm)
The Tests
The tests listed below will be performed on a three month interval for a year and will track my metabolic changes so I can get an overall sense of my “internal” health. I can also see of my lifestyle is having a net positive or negative impact on my body overall. As more information is gathered I can refine my diet, lifestyle, exercise schedule, and overall health practices.
